AP no stock
$190 from CP but no stock
$175 from TCW but warranty from shop

So I only have one choice if die die must buy today....is it OK to get this with shop warranty alone?

MS quoted $175 w GST, but also no stock. Stated "... as agent no stock at all".

Someone posted b4....I just copy and paste 62354605/67378774

Big Kahuna · 7th February 2005

Thanks everyone for the advices

Finally I got my 50mm....tested just now and it was really very fast

Erm...I guess I still need some getting use to because the focus ring always hit my finger....it is louder and cannot zoom so WYSIWYG compared to the kits lens

But the DOF of f.8 definately more powerfull.....I guess I can have fun with it for a couple of weeks liao

Btw the 70-300mm ED was quoted $620 with GST at Lords...So take note anyone who is interested

Hiyo, good good buy for this lens..maybe my nx target also..

Big Kahuna · 7th February 2005

Btw I paid $175 inc GST at Lords if you guys interested, Nikon SG warranty

There might be cheaper by a couple of dollars deal here and there but judging from my travelling time and expenses....and I use CP as benchmark...plus the potential and hassle of running into no stock.....I guess I couldn't ask for more liao

Again I want to thank ESPN for the leads...next time buy you Ah Koon Kopi if got chance

shioks76 · 7th February 2005
